Bodhtree Launches 'Happy Village' Project In AP

Hyderabad-based Bodhtree Consulting in joint venture with Andhra Pradesh Technology Services (APTS) has launched 'happy village', a rural empowerment and employment scheme, in Andhra Pradesh.

The first phase of the scheme will employ the services of 15 rural youth trained by Bodhtree. The number is expected to grow to 50 shortly.

The 'happy village' project is aimed to provide job opportunities for the youth in their villages which involves setting up of a facility with essential IT infrastructure besides providing coaching and training for the youth to handle data management projects by BodhTree Consulting.

According to Bodhtree Consulting CEO Sanjeev Gupta, "This initiative will not only help penetration of IT in rural villages and create employment opportunities for the rural youth who has little access to formal education yet, but also to the enterprise as it lowers employee attrition and reduces cost of operations."
